Thought it was interesting that the top comments average 50-60 likes so I did a little digging. 2 comments have a few hundred likes, the rest have none. A majority of the comments are completely botted. A half a million views video and there’s no negativity, no criticism, no debate, scroll past these top 2 and you’ll find bots with 20 likes a piece tops.
Remember bots are cheap and virtually all tech figures estimate internet traffic is at least 50% bots with 80-90% of traffic possibly being bots. I’ve noticed it’s gotten exponentially more obvious in the last year. They’re not view botting to make money, they’re view botting to push an agenda.
I cannot overstate how important it is for people to remember how cheap and efficient view and comment bots are with AI. People political views come from the consensus of the media they see. There’s a greater chance that person you’re replying to is a bot than a human.
Maybe I’m a bot? Maybe you’re the bot. Maybe Ben is in fact a bot himself. Stay aware, stay weary, stay paranoid. There are snakes in the grass absolutely everywhere.

Empty internet theory is real now
you think Shawn Ryan is doing the same with his latest interview? his comment section is beyond weird on youtube?
Really not surprising that somebody like Ben Shapiro would use bots to fill his comment section. Such a Ben thing to do.
